Showing off my Danish pride

Man må sige at de danske farver bliver vist frem på disse billeder, men det var også netop meningen. 

I lørdags var der arrangeret et lille photo shoot for de internationale studerende som havde lyst til at være med til at reklamere for dette års internationale middag. 

Arrangementet afholdes den 4. april og byder på forskellige retter, underholdning m.m., alt stablet på benene af internationale studerende og medhjælpere. Der plejer at komme ca. 300 spisende gæster. 

Jeg havde egentligt ikke planlagt at være med i photo shootet, men bare at kigge forbi hvis jeg alligevel var i Valdosta. 

Det viste sig at blot én studerende dukkede op, og så var det jo heldigt at jeg kunne cykle hjem efter min rooligan-hat som min mor var så sød at sende over i starten af december :-P

I must say that the Danish colors are prevalent in these pictures, but that was in fact the whole point. 

Saturday the Society of International Students here at VSU had arranged a small photo shoot for those students who wanted to take part in the flyer for this years international dinner. 

The dinner is held on April 4th, and contains different dishes and entertainment all provided by international students and some helpers. Usually there are about 300 guests at the dinner. 

I hadn't actually planned to be part of the photo shoot, but rather to just stop by and say hello if I was in Valdosta. 

As it turned out, only one student actually showed up, so luckily I could bike home and get my rooligan-hat that my mom so kindly had sent over in the beginning of December :-P

The word rooligan comes from "hooligan". 

Hooligans used to be associated with rather wild, crazy, and occasionally violent, soccer fanatics, and as a counter movement to that, the Danes chose to invent the concept of rooligans instead. The word "rolig" in Danish, means calm, and rooligans are therefore calm soccer (or sports) fanatics, who dress up in all the Danish equipment they can find, and cheer for our national team in a more family-friendly way than hooligans.
